Garages with parallel chord trusses?

[54stude]

Does anyone have a picture of the inside of a garage like I am planning on building they could share with me?

The garage will be 24' wide and 42' long, with 8' high sidewalls on a 8" course of block, with a 10/12 roof pitch, and parallel chord trusses about 12" tall. The trusses will span the 24' direction.

I will be putting a 12' high 2 post lift in, and I am wondering how much the hoist being crowded toward the center of the garage will affect my ability to store a car next to the hoist.

BTW, The hoist is a Manitowoc CFF70.
Thanks,
Brian

Back to the top.

Can anyone show me the interior of a rafter or Parallel chord truss garage 24' wide with a hoist in it?

Is this at all helpful?

It's 31' wide with a 9 1/2' walls, and is about 12'6" at the center. As you can see, the lift is right in the middle. That works fine for me, as it's a three car garage and I can park on either side. (I've got an in-ground lift, though, and parking on the side would be a pain with a two-post.) I'd think 24' would be too narrow to allow parking and a lift that will raise a large vehicle very far off the ground.
